A special bottle filled with tequila created by the Quintanilla family, owners of "Los Azulejos" agave distillery in Jalisco. This is considered the absolute best tequila one can import. The design on the bottle was created by a Talavera master who painted a portrait of a handsome young Mexican brigand, possibly Lopez de Santa Anna on the bottle. The history of Talavera tile-work goes back to the Spanish conquistadores who desired a less expensive yet equally beautiful alternative to the azure-colored Chinese pottery they bought from the Orient, employing Mexican artists from the Puebla region to do exactly that. Today, the Talavera tilework can be seen in Mexican houses, with the wealthiest having their haciendas covered in the artform. On the top one can see the words "Viva La Independencia 1810"- this was made to celebrate Mexico's bicentennial.

This is the most expensive of the tequila bottles which I own and was inspired by bottles I saw at La Lazaranda in Addison, Texas, one of the few restaurants in the DFW Metroplex which has eschewed Tex-Mex in favor of more authentic (and expensive) food representing the southern half of Mexico.
